50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Denver

“Great no frills old school burger joint. I absolutely loved it. The royale burger with pastrami and thousand island might seem like a gimmick but I went with it and it was legitimately good. I highly recommend it.

Friendly staff, very quick drive thru service, good price.

This isn't a classy place. Gordon Ramsey is not back there making your burger. If you cannot enjoy a simple, no frills burger joint like this, you and I probably can't be friends.“

“My wife and I were running around this morning and thank god she got hungry, because I just had the best breakfast burrito in Denver.
I’ve had Gomez, Burro King, and Santiago’s (and about 1,000 others) they’re everywhere.
But Lilly’s is the new go spot. The man at the window told me his father started it 24 years ago, so no wonder it’s so good. Burrito was huge, not sloppy or greasy, perfectly balanced meat cheese potato and eggs. The salsa on the side is delicious. If you’re in Valverde stop in and support them. It’s honestly incredible.
Oh and it’s not going to leave you broke and penniless either.“

“Wish I could give this place 10 stars. I got into an accident right in front of here on a cold January night and ended up having to wait 3 hours for the police to show up, and then another hour on top of that for the tow truck. The staff was AMAZING and let me sit here for a total of 4 hours until I was finally able to leave when the tow truck came. Since my car was totaled, there was no way for me to sit in it and wait for hours, so I don’t know what I would’ve done if they hadn’t been so gracious and sheltered me from the cold. The staff was extremely nice to me and really calmed me down after the whole experience. I was a complete crying wreck and the guys there went out of their way to make me feel better. They even offered me a free drinks while I was there! I can’t thank them enough! It really restores your faith in humanity. I hope to get back there someday soon to leave whoever’s working a big tip, to try and pay back some part of the overwhelming kindness I received that night!“

“We had a fantastic experience at Raising Cane’s on S. Colorado Blvd in Denver! We placed a huge order for the St. John’s Men’s Lacrosse team, and everything was handled flawlessly. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient, making what could have been a stressful pickup feel easy and seamless.

A special shoutout to the manager, Dagny, who went above and beyond to make sure our order was accurate, organized, and ready right on time. Her professionalism and positive attitude really stood out and made a big difference.

Highly recommend this location for both everyday visits and large group orders—they truly deliver great service along with great food!“

“Best Dawg in Denver! Chicago Dawg is great and I trying the hot polish!!!!“

“We had such a great experience at In and Out thanks to the outstanding staff member Natalia who went above and beyond to make my kids feel welcomed and brought back drawing accessories for them as we waited for our order. She took the time to ask my kids how their day is going and checked in to see we had everything we needed. It was a great experience and will continue going back for more burgers“

“I chose to stop by here while staying in a nearby airport hotel. As someone who is visiting from out of town, I found this location to be very clean, efficient, and the food was great. When restaurant chains are consistent, it's a breath of fresh air! Great work!“

“Go Go Go. Right now go to hamburger Stand. It's wonderful!! Kareem was the one who took our order. He was amazing. The prices are also amazing. The food was made fresh and served hot. The Twinkie shake was delicious! Everything was delicious 😋. We ate in the restaurant. While we ate Kareem came out to see if I needed any more Coke Zero and made sure we were enjoying our food.“

“Always the best service at this location! Gabriella and Virginia have treated me with respect at every interaction and that is a rare treat!! And I’m a bit of an expert on Biscuits and Gravy and they always have the best B&G in a 10 mile radius. Highly recommended!“

“Great food. Absolutely delicious!“

“Awesome food!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Everything is sooo good here! I always stop by to grab something to bring home and eat after work.“

“Shantelle was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made the whole experience feel special from start to finish. Her service was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. She was always checking in to make sure everything was perfect and did it with such a great attitude. Truly one of the best service experiences I’ve had. Thank you, Shantelle!“

“After a long morning of travels, I stumbled upon this place and was not disappointed. I was lucky enough to be helped by Sarina. I mentioned that I’ve never been here before, I had a long day of travel and just wanted something that can lift me up. She was kind enough to walk me through the menu and gave me her recommendations. I went with the southwest bowl and it was delicious! Can’t thank you enough for your patience, thanks so much!“

“All of It, The Burgers and Shakes and Cajun French Fries and of course the PEANUTS!!! I Just Love Those PEANUTS 💯😀😀😀“

“Drive thru is very effective at getting your food is you quickly!“

“Had delivery, so can't honesty say about the Atmosphere but the food was phenomenal when it arrived at my house. Nice and hot, delicious, hit the spot, and all for an affordable price. Love that the sauces are all dairy free as I have an allergy and miss Ranch very much. Would buy a whole jar of their dairy free ranch if they ever decide to sell it separately!!!“

“Chick-fil-A never disappoints! The staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming — seriously some of the nicest people. Huge shoutout to them for always hooking me up with an extra almond packet for my Kale Crunch Salad (it's the little things 🙌). If you haven’t tried that salad yet, you are seriously missing out. Fresh, flavorful, and just the right crunch. Love this place!“

“Charlie W is an incredible young man. His smile is always bright and warming and his customer service is always pleasing. The food is always fresh when Charlie and Jackson are there and they are always polite to my family and friends. Thankyou so much for bringing joy and customer service to Colfax“

“great food and friendly service.“

“Amazing experience! I was a bit hesitant at first because the location is very busy and hectic, but this store far exceeded my expectations. Despite the crowd, the operation was seamless. The manager, Jay, was doing an incredible job—personally clearing tables, checking in on guests, and ensuring everyone was happy. Thank you for proving that a busy location doesn't have to mean poor service. Highly recommended!“

“The only complaint I have is that they read my order back to many times. At the speaker works well, but when you give a name for your order, it seems mundane to repeat the entire order again at the pickup window. Also, on many occasions, I have ordered unsweetened tea and gotten home with sweet tea. That's big because I don't drink sweet tea, so I have to throw it out.“

“This is probably the best burger there is out there… no kidding! The patties were extremely flavorful and moist, while the toppings were pure perfection, and dont get me started on the fries, the fries had the best crunch with the perfect amount of salt. Im definitely coming again! Also, there is one downside… I forgot photos!🤣🤣🤣“

“Cannot thank this location enough for making the thickest, maltiest malt I have ever tasted. I’ve visited so many fancy places that charge twice as much and consistently serve weak, liquid-y malts.
Eternally grateful, Good Times <3“

“🪽🔥Fire wings and service was great🔥🪽“

“Love this place.. I don't do the potatoes in the gyro (yee-roo) but they are on point.. add feta if you like“

“I really like the Blazing Quesadilla with fries and a fountain drink! Had it 3 times while I am in the area. Comes with a good dipping sauce. Highly recommended.

The spice levels are tuned for an American crowd, so if you really want something spicy pick a spice level higher than ‘hot.’

They keep the inside seating area very clean, and on nicer days there are tables to eat outside.“

“My hamburger was really good! Thanks for the birthday coupon. Glad I gave you a try.“

“I’ve been coming to Carl’s Jr. a lot over the past two weeks, and every visit has been EXCELLENT! The staff is friendly, service is quick, and my order has been right every single time. The food is always fresh and hot, definitely a reliable spot.“

“First time at Freddy’s…went through the drive through. Alison was so kind and patient explaining the menu and differences in the shakes. Got the Oreo concrete and Dr Pepper float with the original Freddy's smash burger. All delicious…I was a happy to wait a few extra mins because I knew they were making them fresh, and fresh it was. I’ll be back! Thanks Alison!“

“The workers taking the order were great, the food was good. The huge problem was the bartender! After I ordered my food (while waiting) I decided to have a beer. I sat down and asked for an IPA; the bar turned out a menu in front of me and I explained that I had ordered. That’s when he said that I was supposed to order from him if sitting at the bar and to remember that in the futur (in a rude tone). I sled of if I could still eat there and he said “I never said you couldn’t eat here” in an even ruder tone. That’s when I walked away“

“wife and I stopped in for an after sex lunch. lovely place and lovely people.“

“The staff is always super friendly and the sandwiches are awesome!“

“Burgers are a little salty, but cooked to order and always hot. Got my receipt and it had a senior discount on there. First time this has happened to me and I'm in my low 50's, so while the discount was nice, the ego was bruised. 😂“

“Yes. Wonderful customer service“

“Muy rico todo y muy amables me atendió una señora muy amable“

“First time there! Awesome food.“

“The employees r great the environment is great I love going to this one“

“Stopped in for a breakfast burrito with my husband. We ended up trying that and a few other items. The breakfast burritos were amazing. Perfectly crisp bacon and ratio of fillings. Plus a house made tortilla was just the icing on the cake. Next we tried the quesabirria taco. Hands down best thing I’ve eaten in a while. Last thing we had was the churros. I got a dulce de leche filling and my husband got just regular churros. They were both so delicious and freshly made. Everything was just so delicious we will definitely be back again.“

“Have to shoutout this location! Always friendly, always accurate, always fresh & tasty (one of the best Good Times locations for quality) - have driven to this location instead of a closer location many times before! Just all around great service, keep this staff! Thanks :)“

“It’s big. Clean. Friendly“

“The staff is very friendly and attentive. Food is great.“

“One of the few places in the area to find a reasonably priced breakfast or lunch.Everything I've tried has been pretty good.It can get busy around noon, and wait times are inconsistent. The salad bar is a good option for a grab and go with a minimal wait.“

“Very friendly“

“MOD is always our choice for safe food. By safe I due mean allergy safe. Every location we have visited is always cautious when it comes to taking care of our needs.
This location’s hospitality was awesome. Food was good and correct. Staff are friendly and talkative and not shy about engaging the customer (me that is). The prep area was clean, staff were also well kemp. Ordered 2 pizzas one being Gluten and dairy free the other just dairy free. They changed cutters without asking so no cross contamination.“

“They have one of the best breakfast Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwiches. It's always fresh and taste great. They always meet you with a pleasant interaction through the drive through. To me, that always enhances my food and the experience.“

“I had the Italian sub. The BEST sub I have ever eaten!! The way they toast the bread is delicious. The balance of flavors was perfect. Yum! Highly recommend!!“

“The guy at the counter was rude, assuming, I ordered. GRILLED ONIONS, AND GOT REGULAR ONIONS, AND A LOUSY BUN, THAT FELL APART. it was about a week old It was done on purpose a lot $$ for lousy food.“
